"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
Any Guitarists?

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
I have 3 self-made guitars,which are copies of a Les Paul '59,an Iceman (IC300 the old Iceman,not IC500) and a 7-stringer that I came up with after mixing up the designs of K-7 and the RG.I also have a Strat copy which plays pretty fine.I also have a cheap Yamaha FG-350 acoustic,and a pretty solid J&D Clovers acoustic.
I've been playing for almost 7 years now,and I don't know how time has gone by playing guitar lol.It seems like yesterday when I first picked it up.
When I pick up the guitar,I don't intend to show off,but things just happen.Girls seem to like the sound of strings,and when they come by,I play the most wicked solo I can and follow it up with a cheesy love song (if any of the girls are hot,that is..lol).
Dimebag..You like Opeth too?Hahaha..I love their stuff man,especially Harvest,Hope Leaves and To Bid You Farewell..Some of their stuff actually does sound like Metallica.But their stuff isn't that hard,really.I mean,listen to Jason Becker or Shawn Lane or ever Corey Beaulieu (from Trivium);that's what hard is.I can play their solos for 30 seconds and after that my little finger (pinky) starts burning;indicating I cant go on anymore.

I play a '72 Fender Telecaster Deluxe (the reissue), upgraded with Seymour Duncan pickups and custom wired to allow for coil splitting in the neck and bridge positions. For amps, I use an Epiphone Valve Jr. into a 1x12 cab w/ an Eminence Private Jack speaker, and also a Roland Microcube for just messing around late at night. For effects, right now I'm using a Danelectro Fish&Chips EQ and an EH Little Big Muff Pi.
Whoever came up with that name is a genius.

I play a Les Paul Custom, an Ibanez Destroyer (84), 2 Kramer Barettas, a Kramer Ferrington, and I play a 1963 Gibson Classical and a Vincente Carillo (made for me in Spain) for my flamenco stuff.
Yes, I like to play.
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
could anyone tell me what the purpose of playing scales.
And what's the best tip to learn to play by ear? I see some people are so good by hearing music, and they know what note or chord to play. Are there tips for me to get good at this?

The beauty of music is that you can go as deep or as light as you want. Some guys just wanna strum a few chords and sing a few songs at parties, and others want to master their instrument.

anybody have any expierence with multi-effects pedals and knows which one will get me the most bang for my buck?
Opeth's music is glorious!!!! More HB's should listen to it and show up at concerts. The Shawn Lane (RIP) mention was nice as well, his cover of "All Along The Watchtower" is F'ing amazing. BTW, I've been playing for 13 years now ans I can't say I've ever gotten a girl interested in me because of it. You do it because you love it.adit said:
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Line 6 Pod XT live. Not too expensive and they sound great. I have one kicking around here that i use every now and again.
Next in line for me would be a Boss GT-6. I don't own one but have used one on many occasions. I would say the effects are great but lacking in the distortion department... the Line 6 is far ahead of it in terms of tone and "feel".
